TurboBid Estimating 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

For some projects, I have compared the actual cost of each project compared to the estimated costs based on this program and similar ones, considering that the costs estimated through the TurboBid were almost always those that were closer to the real costs. Although I have used it for small projects (houses), I think it is feasible, given the results I have obtained, to increase its use to larger projects, for which I continue to use other software.

Its a must have for anyone serious about their business. This software is so customizable and user friendly and will save you a lifetime of sitting at a desk trying to figure everything out yourself. Once you have it tailored to fit your business your set. My time is valuable and demanded in other areas. I don’t have the luxury of desk time. If you don’t love this software you don’t know the first thing about estimating and if you don’t have this software your in the stone ages and just as well close up shop and find a new career.

I am unable to use it and spent way too much time with support trying to figure it out. I would of been better off throwing my money out of the window of my truck!

TurboBid has been extremely useful in helping me grow my business. Working with CSRs has helped me better understand the electrical contracting business. Their customer support is always spot on.

Overall, I use this at my job ( a large corporation) and it’s a much faster was to get estimates out to clients, however for this purpose, it’s almost a glorified word or excel template. We also started to use this with my husband’s electric company he just started, and I find it is much more useful than at work

I have been elated since I chose TurboBid. I did a LOT of research before choosing them. They had the right base price for the software, I liked that I had an actual software package not an online only program. I can honestly say that a small part of me depends on TurboBid now. Being a small one person shop, I can always do things way faster in my head. Then I get on the job and realize, what about the screws! What about the hole that I didn't think would take me so long and now drilling that one hole ate up my profit. Not with TurboBid. Now I don't do off the top of my head bids anymore, I run the job through TurboBid and I know I will be profitable when I give my price. It may not always be the cheapest bid, but it will be the right bid at the right price for my company. Do a few jobs once and compare them apples to apples for labor hours. If you are honest, I bet your actual jobtime labor hours comes out pretty close to what TurbBid estimates! I am way more profitable now as a company. It really paid for itself after a few bids. Oh and their customer service is top notch!!! I had an issue and the Vice president worked with me on it! That is service!

After the takeoff, the reports are beneficial at confirming to customers what the job consists of, and what our costs are, and make it easy to pass on job management items to others.

We are able to turn out the most professional proposals in the least amount of time. You can give your customer anything from just a plain bid price to an extensive proposal that includes all of the equipment being used, and all of the labor being supplied. Even a room by room breakdown of the items included for your customers review.

Faster estimate completion time.
